Education is the key to fixing Africa.
If you look at countries that turned into dictatorships in the past it was the intellectuals and the upper classes (that didn't completely support the dictatorship) that were targeted and seen as the biggest threats. It's easier to control the uneducated and that's the reason why girls schools for example are some of the most important targets for Islamic extremists.
Education also leads to real change in the form of helping to create robust economies. This would hopefully lead to real freedom and equality but at worst would give the countries the money necessary to eliminate or at least vastly reduce starvation and death from lack of decent medical care.
